Hello StealthOTR: Thanks for the correction and the information. Actually, you bring up an interesting point. I don't think it is ever required to continue to maintain certification once you are initially certified. I don't know enough about states' licensing laws but it seem like there was some sore of mail or message floating around about 'boycotting' NBCOT re-certification. Does anyone have more information about States NOT requiring continued certification?
